The White House appearance comes during the same week that lawmen from across the nation, including Jones, make their annual trek to Washington to honor their fallen comrades at the National Law Enforcement Memorial.

Sal Maggio, a retired troop commander with the state police, said his colleagues still talk about Shakur and the million dollar bounty the FBI has put on her capture.

"Hopefully someday she'll be caught," Maggio said in reaction to news of this invitation.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you put a chicago thug politician in the white house.

Now go listen to the song, or even just read the lyrics. The song is about prejudice in the judicial system, and within the police force, it is about another black person who was unjustly found guilty of a crime that they didn't commit. The song doesn't praise killing cops, it bags on the whole **** system at the time.

Read the lyrics, then read the court case, then read the lyrics again....

(there is no proof that Assata was shot the cops, just a statement by a State Trooper, that he later said he had lied about and retracted it, that was the only thing linking her to killing the cops. The state trooper said he never saw her with a gun at all, and did not fire any shots.)

Quote:

Trooper Harper admitted to having lied in these reports and in his Grand Jury testimony about Trooper Foerster yelling and showing him an ammunition clip, about seeing Shakur holding a pocketbook or a gun inside the vehicle, and about Shakur shooting at him from the car. Trooper Harper retracted his previous statements and said that he had never seen Shakur with a gun, and that she did not shoot him

we all know liberals are well adjusted american citizens who only want what's best for society. While conservatives are evil money grubbing scum who only want to sh*t on the little man and rob the world of its resources.

Posted:May 11 2011 at 1:46 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) It's not like Obama has a history of disrespecting police officers or has had to invite any of them over to the whitehouse because of his actions is it?

4 armed members of the black panthers used false IDs to sneak into the visitors section where she was held (and likely with some inside help since they were not searched when entering as they should have been), held multiple people at gunpoint, and broke her out.

Awesome. This was a person that deserved a song, I say.

In related news, the White House should never invite Billy Joel to anything. He also supports murderous outlaws, like Billy the Kid.

I saw this news on Fox News last night and laughed. I respect Bill on "The Factor" because he likes to use facts, but when it comes to hip hop, he is sadly misinformed. If you dissect every lyric from every song an artist ever made, I'm sure you'll be able to find SOMETHING to argue about. This is just ignorance....

Now, if he invited Lil' Wayne or Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, I too would be offended, but Common Sense? Really?

Sad that you can't tell the difference between leaders of a nation and gangsta rappers who support the black panthers.

You're the one that thought two pictures of Reagan had W in it.

Not to mention mine is Ronnie with Mujahideen, and bsphil's is Ronnie shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. But hey, I guess that gangsta rapper is the worst of the group. Maybe you just didn't recognize the Taliban or Hussein ...
